> why don't the owners of these properties release fart spray everywhere and turn the heat up to max until it is unlivable?
If the okupas have been there for longer than 48 hours without you trying to get rid of them, doing something like that could be considered harassment and/or endangering the occupants' health, so you'd probably face criminal charges for it. You're not allowed to alter the living conditions to force them out, but you need to (within 48 hours of the occupation) legally get them out of the property.
Yup, lots of cases where the owners stopped paying/turned-off water, gas, electricity and the court made them turned them back on (and pay all the bills).

It can be used to identify a location, but not an individual.
I assume it could be easily challenged in court (network was compromised, “i give out my WiFi to anyone who visits my home”) without other supporting evidence.
Not in Germany, where you are responsible for the Wifi access, see hundreds of copyrights fines each year...
Anyway, it puts the persons living in that location on the radar of the police, and other evidence can be collected (For example by getting a warrant and taking all electronics out of the "location").

> You know things are intense when you are programming a computer to perform the Computus (calculation of the date of Easter).
Seems like that is a red herring since Easter is always on a Sunday, which, it seems to me, is all that could possibly matter given the description of the problem.
On most countries in Europe either Good Friday and/or Easter Monday are Holidays…
Then you have Ash wednesday and some other holidays around Lent (6 weeks before Easter)…
> Regulators ultimately approved the plane to return to the air nearly two years after the 2019 crash, but Pierson still doesn’t trust the MAX line — the modernized, *more fuel-efficient version* of Boeing’s predecessor planes.
I think we are witnessing the beginning of the end of the fossil age - and its end will take more than a few companies down with it, which are way too attached to the massive use of fossil fuels.
Airbus made the "neo" versions more fuel efficient and without any security issues.
That's why Boeing had to rush the MAX...
It is also not unique to pools. You can not go to parks anymore after dawn, Düsseldorf, Cologne and more cities check for weapons if you want to go to the city on a weekend and have fun.
I live in Dusseldorf and never noticed any crime at all, tell me 1 park I cannot go after dawn?
I don't understand how this avoids any simple attack both for audio or video:
- Alter/manipulate the audio/video has much as you want.
- Play it.
- Have a "attested" microphone/video recording the "manipulated audio/video".
For video maybe you can actually try to prove that's recording a screen not the real event, but seems much harder for audio, you can just say the echos/ distortions came from the environment...

It's not really gambling at all though is it, since as you say 'the house takes 100%' - there's no expectation of (any chance of) profiting from it. It's dumb yes, but it is just paid entertainment; we don't say paying Netflix is gambling ('some months we don't even find something we want to watch!') for example.
It’s not even close to Netflix . You paid a 5$ monthly FIXED fee and can watch everything.
Loot boxes on Netflix would be, you have no movies when you start:
You pay 2$ to add Random 3 movies to your library. Wanna watch Breaking Bad? Pay 2$ until you get “lucky” (and maybe get only Season 3).
Ah, and maybe because it’s premium show, there is only 0.5% chance of getting it in every “loot box”.
So you might spend thousands of dollars, and not get what you want… Because usually there is not even a way to spend 10$ to buy it like a movie on Aplle/Amazon, you have to gamble!
IDK which one was first, but "Alpha Industries" exists as a mil-tech fashion brand: https://www.alphaindustries.eu/uk
Even the logo is kind of similar.
The company was founded in 1959 and its pretty famous for they bomber-jackets.

Either the designer in the movie didnt remember he “copied” it, or didn’t care…
Very long waiting times are the first thing that comes to mind regarding such failures, with UK and Canada at the top spot. It is not uncommon to die waiting for a consultation to be diagnosed in 1-2 years.
Almost all EU countries with socialized healthcare beat US and even UK. Canada is more near EU level.
Do you also want US anedoctal evidence? What’s the consultation time for diagnose in the US for people without insurance/ insurance doesn’t cover/insurance says it doesn’t cover/no money?? Never? How does that affect the average/mean?
